G2 Keyton Sneak Peak

Hi Folks,

I didn't fall off the face of the earth or anything, just been busy grinding tools! I wanted to share a quick pic of the upcoming G2 Keyton. These are pretty slick I think. They kind of combine the old school Keyton design with my older Nibble design. It always bothered me that the Keyton lacked a bottle opener so I managed to get one in there on this version. These fit the hand very well and they are about the size of a full sized old school Keyton.

Anyhow, I just got done grinding these and they are in the tumbler now getting a thorough deburring. They head out for heat treat in a day or two and then it will be at least a week or two before they come back. So we're looking at early October on those.

In other news, I am grinding some steel Pests right now. I hope to get those out to heat treat next week so they will follow the Keyton batch in October.

I can't say what just yet but there are other items of great interest on the way in the interim so please stay tuned! :D

beautiful tool! im keeping my fingers crossed for a mini g2 w/o the bottle opener and a third driver, maybe just like the g1 area 51 but with poltergeist style grinds down down one side... im just a big fan of the tiny tiny tools, like my baby the ghost

Damn! Missed the SUS on the snakebite.. was visiting a friend in New Orleans who is moving. Most of his tools were gone, but I had my G5 prybaby! Pried things, stripped wire, loosened nuts and bolts, etc... (and... opened a few brewskies...!) Thanks, Peter! Hope I can score one of these new keytons!
